A Brief Q&A with Big Sean About His Daily Chipotle Diet

Earlier this week before the BET Awards, Big Sean took over GQ's Twitter account and hit us with a dietary revelation that rippled through the cosmos. "I eat Chipotle every day," he said. "It keeps me fueled." Which, two things: 1. That's incredible, and 2. That's like, a lot of Chipotle. So, we hit up Big Sean via email while he's touring in Europe with a few quickies about his Chipotle diet, what his go-to order is, and how me manages to not balloon into Biiiiiiig Sean despite his daily caloric intake.

How long have you been a fan of Chipotle? Do you remember the first time you had it?

The first time I had Chipotle I was in NYC and in the studio with Kanye and he was working on his album Graduation and it was one of the first few times I was hanging around him. I remember Ibn Jasper asked me "Do you want Chipotle?" and I said "What's that?" and he looked at me and said "Bro, I have to take you right now" and the rest is history! That was 2007!

What's your go-to Chipotle order? Are you a guac guy?

My go-to Chipotle order is the salad bowl with extra rice and either chicken or barbacoa depending on what I had the last time and no guac for me. I don't really like avocado.

You said you eat Chipotle every day. Do you try to mix it up? Or do you tend to stick with the same thing?

I like to mix it up, sometimes I get an extra taco on the side. If I get a burrito, it's the quesarito. When I'm overseas touring in other countries and I can't have it, I for sure miss it A LOT.

So you have tried the quesarito!

Yes and it's so good! I usually get that with chicken, rice, mild salsa, cheese—and sometimes lettuce but sometimes the lettuce doesn't work out too well in there.

Chipotle is loaded with calories. How do you manage to stay fit? Do you finish your Chipotle every time, or save it for two meals?

I pretty much finish it every time. I'm touring right now so I perform every night so that's how I stay fit. I never save it for two meals!
